Highlight

Under the Duhig rationale, a grantor cannot grant and reserve the same mineral interest, and if a grantor does not own a large enough mineral interest to satisfy both the grant and the reservation, the grant must be satisfied first.
The Duhig rationale applies to a grantor's overconveyance of mineral interests, including when the mineral interests are transferred by a contract for deed and subsequent warranty deed.
